    Hello ShivneelSingh, how are you?

    I am an independent consultant and user like you!

    I'm happy to help you!

    You can activate Hyper-V on your Windows Home! It just doesn't come with the system!

    Before enabling Hyper-V, make sure your machine meets the minimum requirements for activation:

    > Open the Windows Command Prompt as an Administrator

    > Type systeminfo and press Enter

    > Wait to load your machine information

    > In the "Hyper-V Requirements" section, check if the answer is "Yes" to the four options displayed.

    > If all are positive, your computer supports this technology

    * In some cases, the machine supports it, but by default it is only disabled in the computer's BIOS.

    To enable Hyper-V:

    > Open any text editor of your choice

    > Paste the code below, and save it with the extension

     .bat [/ code] (For example: activator.bat)
    [code]
    pushd "%~dp0"
    dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\*Hyper-V*.mum >hyper-v.txt
    for /f %%i in ('findstr /i . hyper-v.txt 2^>nul') do dism /online /norestart /add-package:"%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\%%i"
    del hyper-v.txt
    Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Hyper-V -All /LimitAccess /ALL
    pause
    

    > Go to the save location

    > Click on the new file with the right mouse button

    > Click on Run as Administrator

    > The installation script will run, it may take a while!

    > Let it finish without interruptions

    > When finished, you will be asked if you want to restart the computer now, type Y.

    > The system will restart and you will see the Windows update screen when you return.

    > After the system restarts, you can check if the Hyper-V option is now available in Windows Features

    > You will find "Hyper-V Management Tools" and "Hyper-V Platform".

    Let me know what happened!

    If you still have a problem I hope your answer!

    I apologize, I believe there was an error with the formatting!

    Save the file with the extension ".bat"

    Code to be copied:

    pushd "%~dp0"
    dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\*Hyper-V*.mum >hyper-v.txt
    for /f %%i in ('findstr /i . hyper-v.txt 2^>nul') do dism /online /norestart /add-package:"%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\%%i"
    del hyper-v.txt
    Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Hyper-V -All /LimitAccess /ALL
    pause
